Distraction has stated that the show has done well in France and
Spain. On France 2 it is in the process of attaining a 27 per cent
market share. On Antena 3 in Spain it is slated to do even better
with the goal of a 30 per cent market share.
The show puts an innovative twist to the reality television genre.
What is unique is that the host has no preparation, no clues as
to what will happen next. He /she is asked to present a prime time
entertainment programme without knowing what the content comprises
of. It could come in the form of an unprepared interview or could
involve presenting absurd news bulletins.
The fun comes in watching the hosts cope with the myriad of technical
and production problems like falling sets, a malfunctioning microphone
or a camel sauntering across the stage in the middle of a debate.
Television producer Simon Fields will be Lopez¹s partner on
the project. They will produce the US version of the show for Nuyorican.
After that they will present the format to networks in the upcoming
weeks.
Lopez has in the past appeared on an episode in France. Lopez has
said that she wanted to do a US version of the show because she
had received such a rush from the live French audience. For her
the adrenaline excitement comes from thinking on the spur of the
moment.
